A maximum of 30 – 35 questions would be in this section.If you have time, do go through few other chapters like syllogism, direction test etc to increase your attempts.

General Awareness: One of the most important areas to score in RRB exam.For some reason, GK occupies approximately 40% of the questions asked in previous years NTPC recruitment.

We advise candidates to study all the chapters that come under GK but if you are short on time, try to cover atleast the following:

• Indian Polity & Constitution
• General Science (Basics – Physics, Chemistry & Biology)
• Union & Rail Budget (see budget GK questions)
• Five year plans
• Sports events
• Books & authors
• Important current affairs (see past 3 months pdf)

After preparing these chapters, you may also go through Indian history & geography but make sure you don’t get confused with the dates.
